I am 19 years old. I have rather large breasts. Since puberty, I have had large breasts. I am a 36DD/DDD, depending on the bra. For as long as I have had these large breasts, I have had back pain and discomfort. I have been thinking a lot over the past years about getting breast reduction. I have a lot of questions to ask, but I don't have health insurance at the present moment to ask a doctor. Can you help answer some of these questions?
Although I have some general back pain, I have a specific spot on my left shoulder blade that hurts when I stand or do a lot of upper body exercise. It has the classic symptoms of a herniated disc, except that I have had it for as long as I can remember, which uncharacteristic of a herniated disc. How possible is it that it is a herniated disc, And that my breasts caused it? If I get it removed, will it lessen my chances of having my reduction being paid by insurance, as it is my main back problem?
One of my breasts is significantly larger than the other. This is the breast I would like reduced, as I am satisfied with the size of the other one. Would a doctor/the insurance allow this? Am I right in assuming that if one is reduced and lifted, they would lift the non-reduced one as to create symmetry between the two?
I would like to breast feed my future children. Nowadays, how common is it for a woman to be incapable if breastfeeding after surgery? Is there a certain procedure that allows for breastfeeding more than others?
I plan to have insurance in the next 90 days when my father is able to receive it from his new job. It would be ideal for me to receive the breast reduction during this summer. How possible is that? Does planning a breast reduction procedure take a lot of time?
Thank you for taking the time to hear my questions and concerns. Anything you can answer or inform me about is very much appreciated.
